They are additional air intakes for the intercooler. Got them machined from aluminium and painted in car colour

Followed this thread from the start,and this was also my favourite z4 on the forum too...i loved seeing all the diffirent bits/bumpers,etc u had fitted to it since u started posting about it.

Superb looking car,and best of luck with the e89;look forward to seeing it

thanx for the reply! as i'm stil not made my mind up about a new bumper for my car, i'm looking at an M bumper and the hamann one,

your (ex) car was/is a inspiration to many Z enthousiasts.

Thanks to all that participated in this thread

This is a hell of a car!
Will the new owner join the forum?
Oh, and do you, maybe have some diy on fitting those performance seats? Did you bypass occupancy sensors, or they worked with z4 wiring? And if they were heated did it also work plug and play with z4 wiring?

TapaTalking

An amazing car that's for sure! Can I ask how much you spent on the car as it must of been tens of thousands?

i want that so bad. It looks awesome. Decided what colour i want my Z in and definately the boot spoiler

Thanks man! Can`t imagine he will join the forum The fitment holes of the E85 is wider than the Performance seats, so brackets had to be made. Yes, I just bypassed the occupancy sensors. I never connected the seat heating, they have different connectors. But I`m sure its possible to get the seat heating to work.

Yes, I have done some calculations Mostly I bought new stuff, but expensive pieces as supercharger and gearbox etc. was bought used. So approx £30000 and that`s not with labor (Done the most myself).
